Re: [slim] It all started here .... and it still works!

2019-11-29 Thread chamonix


2 SB3s, originally bought direct from Slim Designs in 2006.   I still
have one of them, but they both started re-booting. In the interim I
bought a Grace Digital Audio player. That has horrible sound quality;
even with external speakers. Ok for my workshop.

Fortunately, phillipe_44 offered to replace the capacitors, on these
re-booting SB3s, so I mailed him my 2 compromised players.  I got them
back, and  I am listening to one of these  SB3s as I type.  I bought a
3rd SB-3 of E-Bay, so now have 3 functioning perfectly.

Re: [slim] It all started here .... and it still works!

2019-11-29 Thread castalla


Purely speculative, but I think the Sonos user profile is rather
different to LMS.

Seems to divide between youngsters with smartphones (and increasingly
Sonos is reducing access to only the latest 'shiny' new models) anf
older users who seem to often have 'more money than sense' (having
'invested' over 1 in speakers).   Sonos seems popular in
Scandinavia.   

Sonos control is largely limited to smartphones - there is no
web-interface, and no linux controller.

There is hardly any community development of programs, etc. and users
are almost utterly dependent on Sonos fixing or at least not breaking
working systems with so-called updates.   The community forum can turn
really fractious very quickly if anyone questions the value of some
recent 'improvements'.
And once a system update has taken place, there's no way to revert. 

My Sonos system is reduced to a Beam soundbar, and 2 speakers integrated
into LMS using the upnpbridge plugin.   The only plus in my book is that
the speakers do sound good, but no longer such a plus compared to the
Roberts S series or Libratone Zipps.

LMS is light-years ahead of Sonos, and almost every other sound system.

(For what it's worth my favourite LMS setup is a chromecast audio (gen 1
- 25 usd) linked to Avantree long-distance BT transmitter (40 usd) and a
set of decent headphones - your choice!).



LMS server: Pi Zero

Amp: Denon PMA-50

Players/Speakers:  Touch, Logitech Radios, Sonos Play 1s & Beam,
Libratone Zipp, GGMM E2 & E3, Yamaha WXAD-010, Loewe Airspeaker, Google
Home Mini, Pioneer WX-SMA1, Roberts S1, O2 Joggler, Cisco Joggler

Brexit =   stupidity

My kids obviously are heavy SB users - each one has his own Radio. Plus 
shared units in Kitchen and living room (Touch). Some of our friends 
actually envy us, because this setup allows the kids to use Spotify 
without the need for a tablet or smartphone.

Trying to bring the average age down for Squeezebox users in this
family...
As of a couple of months ago, two of the grandchildren have Jogglers in
their rooms and a Receiver in another bedroom and I have some powered
speakers and another Joggler to be put in their kitchen over Christmas -
all connected to a Raspberry Pi running LMS hidden behind the TV.

Re: [slim] Tidal missing search results + more

2019-11-29 Thread Michael Herger

Since the plugin's page says it was developed by Logitech, I wrote
Logitech support and Tidal support.


I hesitate to respond again, as I've given you the background already. 
But you seem not to accept answers you don't like... But I'll try again: 
whatever the other applications do, I don't know. But as we, Logitech as 
a company, have a contract with these music services, we are not allowed 
to use reverse engineered or otherwise not documented features. We are 
limited to whatever feature set is in the documentation they provide to us.

Who are you calling a demographic creep!

I'm doing my best in this respect - my kids know how much of a
Squeezebox fan I am, and every time they come home for a visit I have
some new aspect to show off (Jivelite on the TV, Airplay to the whole
house, Spotify connect etc), so I'm hoping that when they settle into
their own homes they'll ask me to set up a Squeezebox system.  But I
don't think hifi is the priority for them that it was for me at their
age.
